To function well in society, people need to have good cognitive health, yet we know our cognitive abilities, such as our memory and attention abilities, underpinned by executive functions, can be adversely affected by life events. We are looking for candidates interested in investigating these cognitive abilities and are open to supervising projects investigating how social, emotional, environmental and developmental (including aging) factors can affect individuals’ cognitive abilities.

For PhD enquiries please contact Dr Samantha Gregory (s.e.a.gregory@salford.ac.uk) or Dr Robert Bendall (r.c.a.bendall@salford.ac.uk) to find out more or discuss ideas.
